Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis

Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis

<p><i>Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis, Second Edition,</i> is an essential resource for learning aircraft structural analysis. Based on the author's best-selling text <i>Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students,</i> this brief book covers the basics of structural analysis as applied to aircraft structures.</p> <p>Coverage of elasticity, energy methods, and virtual work sets the stage for discussions of airworthiness/airframe loads and stress analysis of aircraft components. Numerous worked examples, illustrations, and sample problems show how to apply the concepts to realistic situations.</p> <p>This text is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of aerospace and aeronautical engineering as well as for professional development and training courses.</p><ul><li>Based on the author's best-selling text <i>Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students</i>, this introduction covers core concepts in about 200 fewer pages than the original by removing some optional topics like structural vibrations and aeroelasticity </li><li>Systematic step-by-step procedures in the worked examples</li><li>Self-contained, with complete derivations for key equations</li></ul>
